"Angarsk Petrochemical Company" JSC: Response to operation of vibration analysis system COMPACS at ELOU AVT-6 unit

COMPACS^® system has been operated at ELOU AVT-6 unit of "Angarsk Petrochemical Company" JSC since 1995. Currently the system monitors 144 rotating equipment units. The system performs measurements via:

• 277 vibration channels;
• 125 temperature channels;
• 144 current channels.

Due to a constant control of the units health, with a possibility of observation and changes analysis, COMPACS^® system provides safe equipment operation. For example, on March, 18, 2013 the system has detected a rapid growth of a velocity parameter at N-21A unit pump. The maintenance personnel has reacted promptly and turned to an emergency unit. Within the pump examination it has become clear that a rotor wheel fastening nut has turned off.

COMPACS^® system has helped to minimize the equipment sudden and unscheduled shutdowns, as well as to plan and carry out repairs with optimal labour and material costs in short time periods.
